serving mm0, if it page faults, system deadlocks because mm0 is waiting to be served by vfs.
FIX: To fix this, mm0 will need to fork itself and keep a separate thread solely for
page fault handling.
close() needs to flush dirty buffers.
pager needs to have read/write support properly implemented.
open() needs to record mode and access times.
The need for access times means we need rtc and time implementation.
Also need to add stat() access() etc.
Input paths are now parsed at the beginning and components
put into an ordered linked list headed by struct pathdata.
Lookup functions use these components to look up vnodes.
Dirbuf allocation was broken, fixed it.
Added more comments on reading directories.
Issues: fs0 ought to check buf address for sys_readdir(). Currently
test0 is passing an area on its stack and fs0 is writing the data to its own
address space (i.e. an area on its own stack.)
Separated vfs file as a specific file. vm file is not always a vfs file.
Updated the README
sys_open was not returning back to client, added that.
Added comments for future vfs additions.
Removed some commented out code.
Removed excessive printfs.
Fixed spid not initialising for mm0
Fixed some faults with fs0.
TODO:
- Need to store vfs files in a separate list.
- Need to define vnum as a vfs-file-specific data, i.e. in priv_data field of vm_file.
- Need to then fix vfs_receive_sys_open.
- fixed is_err(x), was evaluating x twice, resulting in calling a
function x twice.
- Divided task initialisation into multiple parts.
- MM0 now creates a tcb for itself and maintains memory regions of its own.
- MM0's tcb is used for mmapping other tasks' regions. MM0 mmaps and prefaults
those regions, instead of the typical mmap() and fault approach used by
non-pager tasks.
For example there's an internal shmget_shmat() path to map in other tasks'
shm utcbs. Those mappings are then prefaulted into mm0's address space using
the default fault handling path.
- FS0 now reads task data into its utcb from mm0 via a syscall.
FS0 shmat()s to utcbs of other tasks, e.g. mm0 and test0.
FS0 then crashes, that is to be fixed and where this commit is left last.
utcb as a shared page instead of the message registers.
Implemented the code that passes task information from mm0 to fs0
using the fs0 utcb. The code seems to work OK but:
There's an issue with anon pages that they end up on the same swapfile
and with same file offsets (e.g. utcb and stack at offset 0). Need to
fix this issue but otherwise this implementation seems to work.
TODO:
- Separate anon regions into separate vmfiles.
- Possibly map the stacks from virtual files so that they can be
read from userspace in the future for debugging.
- Possibly utcb could be created as a shared memory object using shmget/shmat
during startup.
Added reading pages from the page cache into user buffer for sys_read.
Increases stack sizes to 4 pages.
Updated README to include more details about multi-pager environments.
This implements the infrastructure for read/write system calls where
file content is first searched in mm0's page cache and then read-in
or written via the vfs read/write functions.

We now have a single dirbuf of size PAGE_SIZE kept on the vnode. This is
to be used for directory contents only. The reason it's kept on FS0 is
because the contents are modified by calls such as mkdir or create, and otherwise
these would have been handled by mm0 on the page cache buffers, which wouldn't work.
Need to still decide whether content buffers are provided by mm0,
whether need to return them back to mm0, and the read count.
